      <title>CVE-2026-80659 — mmc: vub300: defer reset until cmd_mutex is unlocked</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-80659</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;mmc: vub300: defer reset until cmd_mutex is unlocked&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;vub300_cmndwork_thread() holds cmd_mutex while it sends a command and
waits for the command response.  If the response wait times out,
__vub300_command_response() kills the command URBs and then synchronously
resets the USB device through usb_reset_device().&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That reset path re-enters the driver through vub300_pre_reset(), which
also takes cmd_mutex.  The worker therefore tries to acquire the same
mutex recursively while it is still holding it from the command path.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This issue was found by our static analysis tool and then manually
reviewed against the current tree.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The grounded PoC kept the real worker and timeout/reset carrier:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;vub300_cmndwork_thread()
  __vub300_command_response()
  usb_lock_device_for_reset()
  usb_reset_device()
  vub300_pre_reset()&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lockdep reported the same-task recursive acquisition on cmd_mutex:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
  ... (&amp;amp;test_vub300.cmd_mutex) ... at: usb_reset_device... [vuln_msv]

&lt;p&gt;Return a flag from __vub300_command_response() when the timeout path needs
a device reset, then perform the reset after vub300_cmndwork_thread() has
cleared the in-flight command state and dropped cmd_mutex.  The reset is
